Genesis 6:5

Corruption on the Earth

4The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and afterward as well—when the sons of God had relations with the daughters of men. And they bore them children who became the mighty men of old, men of renown.5Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great upon the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was altogether evil all the time.6And the LORD regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.
